Herb

In dog nutrition, the term "herb" refers to herbal ingredients that are typically used in the diet. These herbs can take various forms, such as dried leaves, roots or seeds, and are often used to support your dog's health.

Herbs can provide a variety of benefits. They often contain vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can contribute to overall health. Some common herbs used in dog nutrition are parsley, mint, chamomile and nettle. They can help aid digestion, reduce inflammation and boost the immune system.

It's important to include the right amount and type of herbs in your dog's diet, as some herbs can be harmful in large quantities or in the wrong combination. If in doubt, always consult your vet to ensure that the herbs used are suitable for your dog.
